About Foreign Language Ministry
Many communities have large populations of immigrants and minority language speakers who have little access to the Bible's message in their own tongue. Foreign language groups and congregations are formed to reach these communities — and publishers who learn a new language to serve in them are doing something truly extraordinary.
Whether it's Spanish, Mandarin, Haitian Creole, American Sign Language, or one of hundreds of other languages, learning to preach in a new tongue opens doors that would otherwise stay closed. People who receive the good news in their heart language respond in a way that those reached in their second language rarely do.

Who This Is For
Any publisher with a heart for reaching people who are often overlooked, and the willingness to invest time in learning a new language. You don't need to be fluent to start — many publishers begin attending foreign language groups while still learning, and their efforts are deeply appreciated.
